Quotes by David Mikics (?)

“The digital world offers us many advantages, but if we yield to that world too completely we may lose the privacy we need to develop a self. Activities that require time and careful attention, like serious reading, are at risk; we read less and skim more as the Internet occupies more of our lives.”
― David Mikics

“Kafka noted in a letter to his friend Oskar Pollak that “some books seem like a key to unfamiliar rooms in one’s own castle.”
― David Mikics, Slow Reading in a Hurried Age

“Reading should not be drudgery, and not mere escape either, but a form of life lived at a higher pitch”
